The Morning of Departure

It was a quiet autumn morning
A lonely bird started her long flight,
Before leaving, she kissed
The orange leaf of the silent tree
Where she stayed for a lovely summer night.

The great ocean of wild waves
Welcomed her with foamy smile-
She smiled back to the waves
And kept flying towards the horizon
To reach the unknown island far in exile.

The turquoise door was closed there
The blooming creeper was asleep-
Waiting for our lonely red bird
As a letter in a crimson envelope
With the message hidden in deep.

Light And Dark

Let the pearl tears of rainy night
Be hidden under the wet eyelids,
Let the stony buds of dark sorrow
Be showered by the golden joy-seeds.

Let the mighty white birds of light
Fly from the soft pink horizon-
Let the cool ocean breez come by
From the deep heart of dawn.

Let the foamy waves of first creation
Glitter from the heart of the star
Let the deep-hearted love proceed
Where no one has gone so far.

Let the midnight-blue be our guide
Let the pole star be our bright beacon,
Let our hearts have more courage
While we go towards the dark horizon.

Let the pearl tears of rainy night
Be hidden under the wet eyelids ...

Silky Snow

Silky Snow

Here comes the rain cloud,
Here comes the silky snow
Here comes the glittering sun
With a golden bow and arrow.

Here life flows like a river
With all its high and low
Here love comes so sudden
Like a swift little sparrow.

Here stands a mighty mountain
With snow-white crown on his head
Deers dancing around the green valleys
With dreamy rivers flowing ahead.

Here comes the rain-cloud
Here comes the silky snow ...
